Bulldog-

Been busy with work and family.
At this point, I've worked with the Krag brass and am moving on to .303 Brit brass. I have a set of loaded ammunition ready to go for the next time I can get out to the range.

I haven't had a lot of time to put into the sight parts, although I've made the elevation knob, the elevator post, and the aperture hood. I need to make some screws and the cam.
Haven't worked on the front sight yet, although I managed to dig some antique ivory for the front sight blade out of one of my materials bins.

I have yet to see photos of the patent peepsight or the Jeffery socket block front sight and hood. I'd really like to see proper examples before I proceed with the front sight work, I'll make due with the patent information and catalog images for the rear sight.

Time is the biggest pinch for me in the process.
Work's been busy as can be, I'm looking at a 100k sq/ft expansion in the coming few months.
We've had family in the hospital since Christmas eve and the responsibilities around that situation have overshadowed my fiddling-on-rifles interests.

Things look like they're going to clear a little for me in the coming weeks. I'll keep y'all posted on progress with the little Jeffery.
